Hi, I have 3 imap accounts and want to deactivate one of them. How can I do this ?
By deactivate I mean I still want to keep the imap account and it’s emails but have it not sync’d.

This is not yet a feature, although it has been requested. Voting for it will increase the likelihood it’s implemented.
Sometimes our private company mail server goes down during maintenance for a day or maybe days. At that unfortunate time, Mailspring attempts repeatedly to connect to a mail server that will never be available!
Well, I have two problems with this:
the error message that came out when I open the app is absolutely annoying; and
the background job that attempts to connect is a pointless waste of resources.
To stop the error messages from showing up, I have to delete the account and reconnect it…

With IMAP the mail’s are kept on the server. If you want to keep the emails but not the account, you have to copy the email to a local folder (or a folder in another account), then delete the account. Keeping a “last seen” cache copy of the IMAP mails is, in my opinion, prone to breaking, but I’m not a developer.
